I am so excited to join the Habitat team and the [mission](https://www.tchabitat.org/about/mission-vision-and-values) that you  
 support! It’s an honor to lead an organization that has such great impact—for families, children, and our entire community.

As I considered this opportunity to become [Twin Cities Habitat's President & CEO](https://www.tchabitat.org/blog/chris-coleman-new-ceo), I thought of you. You give generously, volunteer often, and advocate loudly. You make Habitat’s work possible and you inspired me to join the effort. Together, we can ensure everyone has a safe, stable place to live. Together, we can break cycles of generational poverty and close the dismal racial gap in homeownership.

I started my first day at the kick-off for [Women Build](https://www.tchabitat.org/get-involved/women-of-habitat/women-build), and I look forward to meeting you in the coming months and building homes together. I hope you’ll get engaged in our work this summer. When you support Habitat, you create rooms where kids play, yards where parents garden, and homes where families make memories.

Thank you for all you do to strengthen neighborhoods and transform lives with Habitat.

Gratefully,

Chris Coleman
